2024 marked a breakthrough year, with his long awaited debut album ‘The Singing Stockman’, earning x2 Golden Guitar award nominations at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2025.
That same year, he was also officially named the winner of the 2025 Thornton Young Award, supported by LWM House and the CMAA, further cementing his place as a rising star in the contemporary country music scene.
With new music on the way (or on the horizon?), William Alexander is one of Australian country’s most exciting new voices.
